On Tuesday, February 25, Judge Bernard Friedman convened a federal court hearing on a lawsuit challenging Michigan's ban on same sex marriage. Our congregation felt strongly that he should hear from faith groups which support the right of same sex couples to marry. The following resolution was passed overwhelmingly:
“As Unitarian Universalists, we affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person; and because marriage is held in honor among the blessings of life, we stand in strong support of equal marriage. As citizens in Michigan, we will speak out to ensure equal protection for all who live and love in our state of Michigan. As people of faith, we call on our elected officials to pass marriage equality in the state of Michigan. Marriage equality strengthens families, protects children and ensures the basic rights of citizenship for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender couples.
In the face of injustice, we stand on the side of love."
